Lucy Heartfilia didn't know what she was doing. All she knew was that a someone in a black cloak had entered the doors of the Fairy Tail guild hall during one of their parties- and bam! She woke up with no Fairy Tail mark on her hand.
Instead, she had a ball of flame.
There was also an instructions sheet.
Lucy Heartfilia,
I am of no importance. You have no need to know who I am.
Your Fairy Tail mark has been removed, in place of it a clue to your soulmate.
Imagine, the most powerful guild wizards fighting to find their soulmate,
hoping it is someone they have had their eyes set on.
You are my entertainment.
Find your soulmate in your town.
They will be looking for you.
Soulmate? She thought. She hadn't even had a boyfriend, she wasn't ready for her soulmate!
But, she thought, smiling. It couldn't be helped. She might as well look pretty. Lucy called one of her celestial spirits, cancer, and donned her prettiest baby-pink crop top and forest green shorts.
"Okay," she collected herself in front of her mirror. "You got this, Lucy. You're beautiful, and you're ready to meet your soulmate."
Grinning, she walked to her door confidently and was about to turn the handle when it was rammed open, towards her. Lucy's head hit the floor, and she only saw the scarlet hair of Erza when she closed her eyes, exhausted with pain.
"Lucy? What are you doing on the floor?" Happy asked.
"I wasn't on the floor, you dumb cat," she replied haughtily.
"I am sorry, Lucy, I had no idea you were behind this door." Lucy didn't open her eyes.
"Yeah, I'm sure," she groaned. "Why are you here?"
"Well, we were going to collect the team, and look for our soulmates together," Happy said excitedly.
"You're a cat, do you even have a soulmate?" Lucy asked, squinting at the cat.
"Um, of course!" Happy squealed, getting defensive. "My mark just hasn't appeared yet. And what about you?" He flied to Lucy's hand.
"Fire! What if your soulmate is Natsu? I always knew you guys were in loveeeee."
Lucy made a face, trying to cover up the fact that she was blushing. "What? Um, I don't know," she caved. "Where is Natsu?"
Happy laughed. "Freaking out! He won't tell us what his mark is. He also refuses to leave the guild hall." Lucy frowned. What would Natsu freak out about?
In the guild hall, Natsu was pacing. He had woken up on a bench, with a letter that explained his guild mark had been removed, replaced with a clue to someone he was destined to be with.
Even better, it was a whip.
His soulmate's clue was a whip!
Who was interested in whips? Natsu didn't know anyone who used a whip- except at that moment he realized he did.
His soulmate was Lucy Heartfilia, his partner. The painstakingly beautiful friend who he had gone on dangerous missions with. The runaway who had given up wealth for her dreams.
And as he was pacing after realizing this, it hit him. Erza and Happy had tried to gather the team so they could look together for their soulmates.
He had refused to leave.
They were probably with Lucy right now. They would be coming back. "Natsu! Lucy's here! And guess what her soulmate mark is! Fi-" Happy's voice was cut off and a muffled sound replaced it, cluing Natsu that his team was back.
He took a deep breath before turning around to face Lucy blushing, one of her hands behind her head in a nervous pose. She was wearing a pink crop top and green shorts with her whip and keys. She looked beautiful, Natsu had to admit.
"Hi Lucy," he said breathlessly.
"Hello," she squeaked. Lucy wasn't dumb, she knew the fire was a clue that Natsu was her soulmate mark. And even though Erza had said Natsu was hiding his mark, she could see it clearly on his shoulder.
The weapon she used, a whip. She smiled.
At the same time, Natsu grinned when he saw the ball of burning flame on her hand.
"I never thought my soulmate would be a weirdo," Natsu joked.
"Oh, shut up. Anyway, don't you think that I'm going to start dating just because we're soulmates," Lucy huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Well, of course," Natsu reasoned stepping close to her. "I'll have to take you on some simple dates first." Lucy could feel his breathing. "But we don't have to call it dating," he finished. Lucy squirmed under his breath.
"Um, Fire Breath, there is something called personal space," she squeaked.
"I know, friend. Let's go on a playdate!" Natsu said in a mocking voice.
"Okay, whatever," Lucy said, trying to subtly back up. She tripped over her own foot, but Natsu quickly caught her.
"Watch your step, Princess." He took a step back, smiling. "So, where do you want to go first?"
